Buenos Aires City lawmakers have presented a project to build 6 new subway stations and extend the Subte A, which currently goes from San Pedrito to Plaza de Mayo, up to La Boca.

The project was presented by Gustavo Vera and Pablo Bergel (UNEN), Paula Oliveto (CC), Jorge Quinto (FPV), Pablo Ferreyra (Popular Left) and Virginia González (PSA) arguing that the City’s southeast has no subway and is “disconnected from the rest of the neighborhoods.”

“The extension will improve City connectivity. Also, the subway is the most eco-friendly way of public transport, can carry more passengers and is economically sustainable,” the presentation states.
